Undergraduate

Local Medical Students Posting

The Sengkang General Hospital (SKH) undergraduate rotations are designed to develop well-rounded clinically competent medical students in all aspects of medicine. SKH has a range of clinical specialties, and a comprehensive span of patient case-mixes. The various clinical rotations are structured to provide a balanced and diverse exposure to inpatient, outpatient and occasional long-term care population.

During the program, students will work closely with clinicians whose interests span, not only clinical work but also medical education, research and healthcare administration. We have a team of dedicated clinical faculty who will provide you with the best possible tutelage in various branches of medicine and specialty care. Currently we host medical students from the following local medical schools:

• Duke-NUS Medical School
• NUS Yong Loo Ling School of Medicine
• NTU Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine
